Doesn't sound like a good idea. The streets of NYC are already filthy enough. The insane asylum has opened its doors and the insane are being given free reign to run free.

I'm ok with not arresting people taking up more than one subway seat.

Really? So after a long day at work you should have to stand the whole way home while some crazy slob gets to sprawl out?

Those were never arrest situations really...just summonsable.

The problem is, is when people don't pay the summons or show up for court then a warrant is put out for your arrest.

Then the next time you get caught peeing, the police take you ID run a check and see that you have a warrant...and in you go.

Cops shouldn't be arresting anyone right now anyway. Let the libs and social justice warriors wallow in the hell they are insistent upon creating. Most cops don't live in the urban centers they police anyway. Why risk getting hurt or in trouble for no reason?

This is a very bad precedent to set and one that will have a negative effect on quality of life. Allowing people to behave disorderly in public sends the message that law enforcement/public safety is lax or non-existent and will foster more serious crimes.

What caused crime numbers to plummet in the 1990s was people being picked up on warrants over things like turn-stile jumping and littering, rather than Stop and Frisk.

He's more worried about horses.

Interesting theory, perhaps a contributing factor but I think you are discounting that Giuliani was a rabid supporter of the NYPD and as a result they went far (some said too far) and wide to fight anything considered a threat to the general public welfare.

It worked.
